Hi everyone! First time poster here.
I have a history of severe anxiety and depression but experienced a 100% recovery thanks to a combination of Cognitive Therapy and Lexapro. Everything has been going great except about two weeks ago, I started feeling a wave of anxiety and sadness that would come over me around 7-8 PM. This would continue and get worse the closer I got to falling asleep. I told my doc about it and he gave me Clonazepam to take at night, but it hasn't really been helping. I also continue to take Lexapro.
The weird part is, once I fall asleep, I sleep like a baby, and in the morning I wake up feeling great. The whole day I feel great. It's only at night time that the anxiety starts. Another thing that happens is my right arm and leg start shaking, especially when I lie down to go to sleep.
I'm really confused about this as there is no particular thing that I am worried or anxious about. It's just like the feeling comes for no reason at all, which makes me think it is a chemical imbalance of some sort.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
